So right now FAU is ranked 10th in CUSA, with players not yet ranked or graded. 6 of the teams above us are leaving CUSA for the Big East, (Possibly 7 if the Tulsa rumors are true) this would put us in 3rd place in CUSA.

If we were still under the SunBelt we would have the number 1 class.

Heady stuff.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

Is this the &quot;Best&quot; recruiting class in FAU history?

I think the question is if this is the best class ever regardless we win/lose.Weren't we ranked 2nd behind South Alabama? when we were always in the last place?I strongly believe it's a big improvement and hopefully the effort will translate into more wins.

On paper this will probably be our best class…in reality last year's class will have a better chance of success because of the lack of depth and being the first class recruited by a new coach to fit his system…

lets just judge the class once they make it onto the field

That could be done, and probably should, but it's way more difficult. We'd have to track every recruit and wait until they got playing time, then give them some time for "adjusting to the college game", if they ever do, and then compile that altogether vs the previous classes… think about it.

Unless you mean to look at how many people come in and contribute right away, playing as true freshman, but even that's complicated because that depends largely on depth at their position, grades, injuries, etc.

So the easiest way is obviously the star system. You may not like it, and plenty of other people may not like it, but it's the least complicated way of immediately judging the "quality" of a given class.
